Re: do the memory foam crib pads really help?

[Guest guest]

I asked my dr about that cause i was going to do the exact same thing..even in her car seat. She told me PLEASE dont waste your money! she said its a way to get money out of people. cause th can be pricey. she aslo said thaat the ones they sell for the Plagio actually cost 20-30 more than the regular memory foam and there the exact same thing. so what id say to you is the same she told me. get a carrier to put on your chest, put her in there when you go to the store, when your doing chores, or in a play saucer, then when she or he is sleeping put her on the side thats the plagio is bulgeing at.i told my dr i was going to go get her one of those bumbo seats she said no, that she wants her to build her muscle tone up more cause if its low its going to make it worse than better! i hope that will help. I hope this helps you at lease some. misty 6 months old Plagio rt side with

I agree about the memory foam. We used a sleep wedge with memory foam

and my daughter had severe brachy - so it didn't prevent anything. As

for bumbo I think they are great - but if you're dealing with tort,

you might want to check with your PT. My daughter didn't have tort or

low muscle town. Acutually she has always been very muscular & strong.

So much so that I'm thinking of signing her up for the WWF ;-)
